The Night Manager cover

Jonathan Pine, the night manager of a luxury hotel, harbors a secret about billionaire Richard Roper. To assist intelligence services in taking Roper down, Pine must infiltrate a perilous underworld.

In The Night Manager, Jonathan Pine leads a seemingly ordinary life as the night manager of a luxurious hotel in Switzerland. However, beneath his calm exterior lies a profound secret. Pine is aware that one of the guests, billionaire trader Richard Roper, is a notorious criminal known for his ruthless dealings. This knowledge weighs heavily on him, as he understands the extent of Roper's malevolence and the impact it has on countless lives.

Determined to take action, Pine finds himself drawn into a dangerous game of espionage. He aligns with intelligence services, motivated by a desire for justice and a personal vendetta against Roper. The stakes are high as Pine must navigate a treacherous underworld filled with crime and corruption. His mission requires him to adopt a new identity and immerse himself in a world where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks around every corner.

As Pine delves deeper into this perilous environment, he encounters formidable adversaries and faces moral dilemmas that test his resolve. The journey transforms him, forcing him to confront his own values and the lengths he is willing to go to achieve his goal. The Night Manager is a gripping tale of intrigue, highlighting the complexities of good versus evil and the personal sacrifices one must make in the pursuit of justice.
